Kaeden has been learning swimming for about 3 months+. Ever since Issac and Ivan started joining him for his lesson, he has been progressing fast! Haha the work of peer pressure?
He is now learning strokes for frog style and am looking forward to the day when he can swim on his own :)
The 3 boys that drove the poor instructor MAD :P
Needless to say... must be negotiating for dunno what again!
The 'good boy' moments...
Ashlyn is 2 months old today and growing extremely well! Seems to be getting longer by the weeks! Haha... another tall girl in the making? It still amuse us how their not-so-tall parents can produce such lenghty children!
My little girl hate being restrained... dun like being in the car seat nor the stroller! Even in the sling, her head, hands and legs have to be dangling outside! Well, too bad though, your parents are not those who let you have your own way... Car seat is for your SAFETY so like it or not, you HAVE to be inside :P
And by the way, she is really a 名副其实 ice princess! Hardly see her smile at all :( Was I a grumpy monster when pregnant with her? I hope not!
This week will be the last week of my maternity leave. Sigh... just when I am getting the hang of looking after her, its time for me to go back office.
Ashlyn in the playgym that used to be Kaeden's...
Love to see her cry... Heehee since you dun like to smile at me... shall leave u to cry! Naughty Mummy!
Oops... she understand wor, no point tehing to Mummy. Today its Monday, Daddy not at home, try tonight la hor :P
Friends who have been there and back, regardless of whichever state they were in... all enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
And since dunno when, it started to be our dream, mostly mine, to be able to relocate there... it still was, until few days ago when the possibility became 90% confirmed....
So many uncertainties which I have no answers to, flooded my head :( The first few things that came across my mind were Kaeden's education & my parents...
Will the school which we have settled on, be good enough to equip him for Primary 1? Is my knowledge adequate to supplement what the school lack?
Have been trying to convince myself that our case is no big deal as there are so many people who simply uproot the entire family even when the kids are already in primary school... But well I don't think I will ever belong in that category...
And my parents... Who can help me with them when I have no sibling, no cousin, no nothing? Along with losing me for 2 years, we are also taking away Kaeden and Ashlyn :(
My heart aches...
Had lunch with Chris & Judy together with our children this afternoon :) When the waitress asked me 请问几位, I suddenly realised how time has flies...
We used to be just couples and now our family has branches out from 2 to 4 making us a total of 8 paxs! Still remember those good old days where we used to watch midnight movie and lim kopi @ Lau Pa Sat (those are perhaps history for the time being, couldnt imagine bringing the kids out at 3am in the morning!)
These are what we call old friends who have been through some of life greatest journey together, from couples to man & wife and now parents to our beautiful children!
Cheers to many more years ahead!
Someone told me that the best gift a parent can give their child... is a sibling. I never used to think much of it until Ashlyn came along.
The look on Kaeden's face confirmed it :)
Heehee I wish I had a sister/brother too...
It had been so long since I last looked after a baby on my own. The initial days got me so overwhelmed that I broke down and cried many times... Thankfully Walker is always there for me, giving me the support and encouragement that I needed. *love you dear!*
Kaeden is doing well too :) He has taken on the role of a big brother to love and protect his sister. His maturity in thinking has made many things easier for us... I feel so proud of my little boy!
Looking @ Ash's face and then Kaeden's face, I realised just how much he has grown over the years... Although I may complain and grumble about how tiring it is to be looking after Ash... I know someday I will miss her being like this now... the same way I miss Kaeden being a baby :)
As for Walker, he seems to be basking in happiness just by looking at his Princess everyday. There is so much tenderness in his eyes whenever he baby talk with Ash that I find myself falling all over in love with him again. He made me feel that all the sufferings that I went through for both my pregnancies are worth it because he really love them...
God is great!
